positioned 011 the curtain pole without the.

necessity of detaching the ends of the curtain pole in which the conventional brackets are positioned, and sliding the rings there over.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like.

assembling the same to slide a plurality of, the element over a curtain pole. Accordingly, when new rings are required it is necessary to detach the end of the curtain pole from the hangers so that the additional rings may be positioned on the referred to curtain pole.

By virtue of the construction of the present device it will be evident that we can readily position the rin on the curtain pole without the necessity o detaching the same from its bracket, by merely spreading the arms of the device so that they will pass over the pole and then by turning the ring at right angles, the same will assume the position shown to advantage in Figure 3, thereby allowing any article to be suspended such as, draperies or portieres to secured to the ring elements.

The inherent fi xibility of the rings permits the adjustment of the same as desired, as illustrated to advantage in Figure 2. A

. draperies.

conventional hook element oreye answers the desired purpose for supporting the In the accompanying drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of our invention, the numerals 5 and 6 designate two strands of Wire which are twisted about each other to provide a central straight portion 7 and then continue at one side of the central portion 7 into cooperating ring segments or loops 8 and 9 which extend toward each other and terminate in free parallel portions having pointed extremities 10 and 11.

The extremities of the wires at the other side of the central twisted portion or body 7 of the device diverge from the body, thence are bent at substantially right angles upon themselves to provide substantially overlapping portions as indicated by the numerals 12 and 13, and then bent upwardly at right angles to provide ends which are pointed as at 14 and 15 to provide hooks.

It is to be understood thatinstead of the hooked ends illustrated, a conventional eye can likewise be utilized.

Not only will the hook ends l tand 15 serve to engage and retain a portion of drapery, as illustrated by the numeral 16,

but thepointed extremities 11 and 12 can likewise be utilized for engaging and retaining the portion of the drapery or an extra piece of'ornamental fringe or the like, that is desired to be retained by the curtain rings.

From the foregoing description it will be obvious that we have devised a most economical drapery retaining device that can be quickly adjusted to an operative position with relation to a curtain pole and which will securely retain thereon drapery or portieres that are desired to be suspended.

It is to be understood that the form of our invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of the invention, or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described our invention, we claim i 1. A drapery retaining device of the character described COIIIPIiSlHg a pair of wires twisted about each other intermediate their ends to provide a body portion, said wires Lil ring segments terminating in substantially free parallel portions having pointed extremities, said wires being disposed in diverging relation from the opposite side of said body portion, thence are bent at substantially right angles upon themselves to form substantially overlapping portions, upwardy extending end portions terminating in points and being formed with the overlapping portions to provide hooks.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
